Must-Visit Wonders
Laitlum Canyon (21 km from Shillong)
This place qualifies as one of the most spectacular landscapes in India and one of the best places to visit in Meghalaya. This not-so-explored Meghalaya tourist spot is worth at least a visit for more than just a couple of reasons. If you are a photographer, this place is your chance to capture paradise through your lens. If you are a nature lover, this abode of clouds, perched in the East Khasi Hills, is your escape into nature. For those exploring the region with loved ones, Meghalaya family tour packages often include this gem for its scenic appeal and peaceful environment. If you like living on the edge, this place has a 3000-step stairway that lets you climb up and down on the edge while staring at dreamy vistas that surround this place. Sunsets and sunrises add a magical charm to the beauty of its scenic hill slopes and make it appear surreal.
Dawki - Umngot River(81 km from Shillong)
Dawki is a small city located on the border of India and Bangladesh and is also the trade hub between the two countries. What makes Dawki a tourist magnet is the Umngot River – the river with crystal clear water. And by crystal clear, we mean so clear that you can actually see the shadow of your boat on the bottom of the river floating with your boat. Dawki Bridge, which is a suspension bridge over the river, is another reason to visit this river at least once. The distinctive charm of this river attracts tourists from all over the country and even abroad to take an unforgettable ride on the Umngot River and makes it one of the best places to visit in Meghalaya. Dawki is also a favorite inclusion in many North East budget tours for its surreal beauty and affordable local experiences. Nothing compares to the heavenly joy of riding on this beautiful river surrounded by wilderness. Location: Dawki Village.
Cherrapunji (53 km from Shillong)
It is in a neck and neck competition between with Mawsynram for the title of the wettest place in the world. Before Mawsynram got famous, this was, inarguably, the title-holder. You can visit Cherrapunji during any month of the year to drench yourself into a “seemingly unending” rain which is more common than anything else here.
